Given the current rate of technological advance, it is possible that by 2050 researchers will be able to answer important questions about the functioning of healthy and diseased human tissues without subjecting animals to harmful procedures."]]> 2017-04-10 16:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/arubio19/ul8elalf2du6/wish/165725933 arubio19 https://padlet.com/arubio19/ul8elalf2du6/wish/165726044 in 2007 a report was released by the US National Academy of Sciences stating later in the years animals will disappear and animal testing will not be an option.

He continued, "With earlier and more rigorous target validation in human tissues, it may be justifiable to skip the animal model assessment of efficacy altogether."]]> 2017-04-11 09:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/arubio19/ul8elalf2du6/wish/165837244 arubio19 https://padlet.com/arubio19/ul8elalf2du6/wish/165837407 The use of animals in experiments dropped to 50% since the mid-seventies, but around the mid 1990s the universities started to do research on mouses for strains.]]> 2017-04-11 09:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/arubio19/ul8elalf2du6/wish/165837407 arubio19 https://padlet.com/arubio19/ul8elalf2du6/wish/165837654 The Gulf of Mexico oil spill happened so the EPA used non-animal testing to determine the safety of eight different commercially available oil dispersants .
